4Times I am not about to argue with you.This will be my last reply on this thread you may believe what you want everyone does. The 20% loss wasnt invented by dynojet It has been excepted for many years before a Dynojet ever existed. Cars with automatics always lost more power than those with manuals. 20% like I stated above is an average. your car would certainly fit this average(slipping trans) and the info I provided was from Joe Lubrant, I suppose he has no clue on what hes saying about power figures. From the MANY years I have in Drag racing, 550 Gross HP will get you well into the 10s in a 3500# car.We were doing it with 427BB & 454s back in the 60s and 70s. Baldwin Motion Camaros with 500-550 GROSS HP(Dyno proven) ran mid 11s@125+ on street tires weighing 3700# with driver.Put a set of slicks on them they ran 10s FACT. They came with M22 4spd & T400s too. The Figures Joe L. provided are an average for that power & weight. yes it is possible to go quicker than 10.8s when running 126mph,but some can go slower and do.
As for power loss, when making more power you lose more in transfering it to the wheels. Look at the Fuel cars they have the most Exotic clutch set up in the world but yet only last 1 Run.The clutches and plates sometimes weld(fuse)together because of the intense heat. Ever wonder why John Force is so filthy after making a run? Its because of the extreme amounts of clutch dust under the body of his car.The Haze you see behind a Fuel rail car is clutch dust. Our transmissions are no exception more power we make the more the trans clutches will slip because more power is being applied to them.All the heavy hitters rebuild their trans every year sometimes more.lower power cars can go longer before a rebuild.As for Red so what if he ported the TA49, you missed the point! point was he was making no more than 550 GROSS hp and ran 10.80s. He has helped MANY people run fast in TRs and has no reason to lie.Same goes for Tim Stockwell which under Reds guidance ran 10.80s making 550 GROSS HP! Oh and dont let me forget Jim D'Alessandro back in 90 was making over 500 Gross HP running low 11s high 10s!! This guy was Super cool and was the fastest TR in the world during his fame. I have the specs on his Record setting 1st single turbo 7 sec TR and on it states:
Best time- 7.61@179.78
weight- 2390
Horsepower-1075@6800rpm AT THE REAR WHEELS & 1400+ AT THE MOTOR!!!!!!!!!!
Torque- 1000+lt/lb @5200
This was way back in 1994!!! But I guess He doesnt know what hes talking about either.
